Themes for a Market Correction<br />

• ST risk: investment banks, insurers – the worst is not behind us<br />

• MT risk: inflation, food prices and central banks<br />

• Bad news: financial sector job losses, construction costs, securitisation and<br />

the cost of credit, real economic fallout<br />

• Good news: imbalance in supply and demand for quality assets, rapid<br />

action by public bodies, emerging markets strength<br />
